We report on an adolescent girl with premature ovarian failure (POF), de novo unbalanced translocation X;15(q24;q26.3) with partial Xq24 duplication, and absence of pubic and axillary hair. Endocrine assessment showed normal adrenal and ovarian function. Chromosomal abnormality was identified by standard cytogenetic methods, array-CGH, and FISH analysis. Mutation analysis showed normal androgen receptor genes. Pubic and axillary hair began developing during estrogen + progesterone therapy. Our patient demonstrates that a distal X-breakpoint involving POF1 locus is able to cause POF without virilization during adolescence.
